Solution
The event most likely to be independent of A (It is sunny on Thursday) is C. You have orange juice on Wednesday. This is because whether or not you have orange juice on Wednesday has no bearing on the weather on Thursday. The weather on Thursday does not affect your past actions. The other events could potentially be influenced by whether or not it is sunny on Thursday. For example, if it is sunny on Thursday, it might also be sunny on Friday (A). If it is sunny, a customer might be more likely to buy sunglasses (B). And if it is sunny, there is likely to be a blue sky (D).
